Going to upgrade my dad's XP for christmas, can I get some help?
QuadStorm:
What are the specifications (speccy, or dxdiag.exe (built in system exe) has some too)?
Honestly,

or building a new one and just transferring data that needs to be kept to it.

I am being helpful.
Chances are you're going to have to upgrade that computer anyways just to support windows 7 and it's full of viruses with out dated hardware.
Might be cheaper to just get a new one. Any new computer, even an email checker is probably 10x better.
Might be time to let go of that XP.

Do you even know if it is even possible to upgrade that windows XP?

do you know that people aren't always made of money?
windows 7 might not cut it. i don't know unless we see some specs (install speccy).
what i'd recommend is a clean install of XP, and only installing essential programs (firefox
since chrome doesn't support XP, thunderbird possibly for email, small antivirus like avast
or AVG ((or no antivirus at all)), etc. etc.), backing up important/personal files before you do
so to a USB drive or CD or whatever.
if that doesn't sound good, you might be sol, since that's all i can think of with such a
low-spec PC according to your details
